The document provides tips for supporting dyslexic students in the classroom. It recommends assessing the accessibility of textbooks, providing easier texts if needed, and supporting student access to texts. It also suggests highlighting and explaining new words, writing clearly on the board, including multisensory learning, teaching visual representation methods, considering worksheet design, allowing extra time for tasks, and praising student effort.

Introducing our new three-level series for the young beginner/upper beginner learner of English. Each unit of Basic Reading 800 Key Words includes eight parts, plus additional review and consolidation activities in the workbook. In the follow-up activities to the comprehension check, students practice basic grammar points related to the passages, learn the meaning of a highlighted expression, and review target vocabulary. A summary for each unit is also provided in each unit’s review section.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
1. Supporting dyslexic pupils in the classroom
Hear the student read (discreetly if necessary) to gauge accessibility of
the textbook you are using, and find out what he/she finds
helpful/unhelpful in lessons.
Provide easier texts if necessary – short sentences, plenty of pictures,
difficult words explained.
Support pupils in accessing text (eg, read text aloud in class, pair the
student with a more able peer or put texts on CD).
Highlight and explain new/subject-specific words: display them in the
classroom (lower-case print) and draw attention to them.
Write on the board in a large, clear style: use different colours (but
minimise the necessity for pupils to copy from the board).
Include multisensory learning opportunities in every lesson.
Teach mind mapping and other forms of visual representation. Encourage
the use of a range of recording methods, eg bullet points, story board,
flow chart, scribed and oral/recorded.
Give careful consideration to the design and layout of
activity/information sheets – size of font, colour of paper, spacing etc.
Consider the use of coloured overlays.
Provide a selection of dictionaries, including an ACE one (aurally coded
English).
Use collaborative learning and peer support.
Employ ICT to support pupils’ learning: adjust computer screens and text
size where appropriate; consider voice recognition software; predictive
text; different kinds of spellcheckers.
Allow extra time for completion of written tasks – or adjust your
expectations (dyslexic pupils can write less, or use a different format).
Avoid dictating homework in the last few minutes of the lesson.
Mark written work for the content rather than spelling and presentation;
highlight two or three words to be learned each time, rather than
correcting all mistakes.
Help pupils to be organised – remind them of what is needed for
following lesson etc.
Praise for effort as well as achievement – remember that dyslexic pupils
may have to work twice as hard to produce half as much as their peers.
